Hahahah!! You would not believe the amount of attention those socks got her on that hike. Literally every single person we passed the entire day said they love them. It was hilarious now I think she’s been shopping for socks to theme her hikes! Hahaha thank you for reaching out and thank you for watching!
thankyou for posting this challenging hike of the whites traverse were grateful too see areas we will never get to. one faux pas was saying folks are lazy for using the cog or toll rd. some folks are elderly and others are disabled with amputations and need wheelchairs,so thank GOD your healthy and able to do such things.

Great video man! Would you suggest those lower top trail running shoes over the usual mid hiking boot - bulkier and waterproof ? I noticed Jon Z. Is also rocking the low top hiking running shoes...
You never want to use waterproof shoes unless they’re insulated and your hiking in the winter. Your feet will sweat in the summer and the moisture can not escape and then your feet will sog up and prune and you’ll get blisters really easy. You only want breathable shoes so that your feet can air out all day. If you step in water your shoe will dry in what feels like 20 minutes but if you get a waterproof shoes they will stay wet and you’re gonna be sloshing around in puddles in your boots for the entire day.. I absolutely recommend low breathable trail runners. They’re super lightweight and give you a good mobility and help your ankles get really strong
Actually that’s pretty damn true. They’re very comparable in terms of mileage and difficulty but I would give difficulty more to the Adirondacks. Every climb in the Adirondacks is a big up in a big down where is the presidential traverse is kind of like more timid up and downs minus Madison and Adams giving you nice little jolts up. I will tell you though some of the other ones are much easier to compare to because they’re so drastically different. The Mahoosuc traverse was honestly hard as hell and so was the cranberry 50 ultra
Most of what made them really hard for me personally was a lack of hydration from running low or out before the end of the day and being very dehydrated towards the end. Plus hunger etc
Great hike and great video. I am amazed how you can film and hike at the same time. I needed to put all my focus on just my feet. I second your endorsement of the Altra Lone Peak 4.5 Just did the Great Range Traverse and the Presidential Traverse a week apart, and my feet were perfect both times. (I need lots of toe space)

I did it with a group of five so we parked a car at the end and went to bed early so that we could just drive to the trail head in the morning. Also if you stay at the Rattle River hostel they can shuttle you!
I haven’t really gotten out of the area but I know we have some beautiful mountains here. I see pictures around the world that just I can’t even comprehend
You are not kidding about the incredible day and lucking out with the weather! I heard statistically you have a 25% chance of views on Washington! Plus it was like 50° with 10 mph wind! And that cloud inversion sunrise in the morning. My goodness gracious I’m a sunrise chaser on a mountain top every other weekend for sunrise and this is my second cloud inversion in two years
Great video on a spectacular day!!!
Hiking Feeds My Soul thanks so much! It was a spectacular day indeed!

One of The best moments of the day was watching her fall in the mud

Awesome dude...just wow. Friggin Lunar landscape up there.
John Stevens I know... I was slightly nervous about the predicted weather when we headed up. It was showing clouds and rain but intermittent
It was so beautiful!

how was this compared to the great range traverse?
I think it made my feet hurt a lot more if I remember correctly. It’s been along time since I did them both
@@BrianHikesAllDay yeah i figured it would be hard to remember. its all mental at the end of the day ill send it in june. thanks!

Game changers!
Epic weather for views. I dream of the cloud inversions and cumulus clouds you seem to have on this whole hike. Thanks for the video!
I also dream of weather like this. Very rare and I’m so glad that it happened

Awesome video. What trail head did you start at. Thanks.
You guys are crushing it!
We took the valley way trail up to Madison!
Brian_Hikes_All_Day Thanks Brian. And to bother you again, how about what trail down? Thanks bro.
The Webster Jackson Trail
I wanna do it this year, did you have a car spot. I would go solo.
I did it with a group of five so we parked a car at the end and went to bed early so that we could just drive to the trail head in the morning. Also if you stay at the Rattle River hostel they can shuttle you!
Nice Friend
Yes! All my friends are nice! That’s why I keep them around
@@BrianHikesAllDay amazing, mountain, i'am from indonesia
